Thanks you addressing this vitally IMPORTANT issue of OUR TIME!
The misconception of Halo's legacy is the NUMBER ONE problem, and the cause of our current economic woes! I expect, nay, I DEMAND fully 50% of the stimulus package to be applied to this dire situation!
First-person shooters comprise one of the most well-developed video game genres in existence.
Fix: First-person shooters comprise one of the most cliche ridden and boring video game genres in existence.
Well, at least it doesn't take place during World War II.
I didn't get that far in the advertis^H^H^H^H^H^H review. Does it have a multiplayer mode so I can play along with 13 year old racist homophobes with gamer tags like "BeeyotchMaster69"?
I voted for the Dem's this time around, but they're just as bad
Some of this have been saying this for years, but we get dismissed as "libertards" even if we say we think the Libertarian party is too extremist. And this much of this sort of schoolyard behavior comes from people with advanced degrees. So many of them are progressives who seem to think even a healthy distrust of concentrated power (government) is some sort of insanity. If you press them on it, you might get some hand waving about "yes, yes, we need to do something or other about waste and mumble mumble...", but you can tell they just don't give a shit about anything other than sticking religiously to the ideological line.
So, we get trillion dollar bailouts no one has actually read, and (here in California) tax increases in the middle of a near depression without a *single* layoff off a government employee. And they call *me* insane for asking for more oversight and a less corruption.
As I age, I begin to see the attraction of a "book" where I can adjust the font size. The other old farts out there know what I'm talking about. Aging sucks.
I'd have to hold one of these and play with it, though. The book, that is.
So... spend a lot more money on audio gear so I can hear more flaws. Gotcha!;-)
You still have a laserdisc hooked up somewhere, don't you?:-)
Actually I think it's people getting music for free that lessens its value and hence lessens the demand for artistry.. Last week, for the first time in a while I bought some music (on iTunes store), and I've enjoyed these two albums more than any I have in a long time.
Scene addendum: "It's deceptive *and* anachronistic! The eight note scale isn't supposed to be invented for thousands of years yet! Quick! Hit him with a femur!"
I think I heard that shit on a radio ad a couple months ago. It ended with a song with a female singer. Sounded real, but there were these step transitions between the notes, and I thought it was some sort of computer generated or sampled voice.
I (along with many satcom engineers I know) have been saying this for 30 years! There was even a PBS show 20 years ago about life in the universe that pondered Earth's own signals as seen from other worlds. They talked about how our signals would eventually be lost in the muck. Why is this suddenly some new idea?
There were storm clouds on the horizon, and Rome witnessed a rain of burning frogs. Children's dreams were fraught with monsters, and glimpses were caught of the cloven hoofed man goat somewhere in the vicinity of Sparks, Nevada. The time is near and truth is out there. Eternal woe hath cometh unto the technocommunity. Oh, Discordia!
OK, the XeeLee *are* pretty cool.:) I didn't hate the books, I just wasn't terribly excited about them.
Yeah, I'd call Man From Earth an SF film. It postulates (well, implies thanks to the biologist) a mutation that grants immortality. No magic was involved. Speculative fiction?
I was with you right up until you said "Stephen Baxter".;-) Although I did like the one about the ship that got stranded in the universe with the higher force of gravity.
Maybe you just need to explore some independent films or imports.
Ever seen "Primer?" It's a small SF film about time travel made on a budget of about $12,000 and has a fairly convoluted plot. The filmmaker created a flow chart on the film's web site to diagram the time loops.
How about "Man From Earth?" It's a small film about a man revealing to some colleges that he is actually 14,000 years old, and their varied reactions to the news. The whole thing takes place in a single room.

SO much more practical than, say, pushing a button.
Don't cry, wee little one.

Confusion. Uncertainty. Who reigns, and who is merely the figurehead, its strings pulled by the other?
We're not quite sure.

Not enough. Yet. Be silent. The call to action will be raised when the time is right.

It's worse, actually. The psychosis is religion induced, and it *IS* the chain of command.
Good idea, but I'd also go all Ross Perot on their asses and send in some mercenaries to rescue the executive.
before it becomes too faint to hear.

I'm curious why all these people who hated Vista are showering love on Windows 7. Is it some sort of mass psychology type thing?
Some variant of Stockholm Syndrome, perhaps? *shrug* I dunno. What are you asking me for?
I'll shower it with something, but it sure as hell won't be love.

Who can blame Putin for being offended by the implication that Russia needed Mr. Dell's help?
Well, with some of the paranoid cold-war rhetoric coming out of the man the past couple of years, we thought they had time warped to the 1960's.

He's just doing an amazing simulation.
Insulting the king is like insulting the founding fathers, everyone knows whilst you're in the US you just don't do it.
People pick on the Founding Father's all the time, most notably Jefferson's jungle fever with his slave women.

I guess we can thank GW...
Shhhh. There, there, it's over. He's gone. Let it go... let it go...

Eat less crap, exercise more and read a book once in a while.
There. Code that up.
